In his first year in 1992, he didn't have the SB stars (Eddie Brown, James Brooks, Ickey, Montoya, Remington) etc. Also, Munoz, Fulcher, and Holman were all at tail end of their careers and were off the roster the next year.

Although Boomer had some success as a Jet, his arm was gone by 1992. In an interview he said that he had to throw the deep hitch routes high and wide, so they wouldn't get picked.

So Shula took over a Team that had finished 3-13 in 1991 and had a 5-11 record in his first year in 1992. Coincidentally, 1991 is when PB Sr died and Jr took over. 

Thus; the O-line was never successfully replenished after losing Montoya, Remington, and Munoz. Klingler couldn't succeed because he was running for his life and the running game went south. 

'member the night he almost beat the old man but the Bengals choked in the end?  MNF maybe?  That was the highlight of Dave's coaching career.  That and almost beating the Cowboys that one time.  But hey, the man knows steak.
